Plus it must have not been easy playing so many positions. CB with 3 at the back. Then USMNT went to CB with 2. Which he did for a game or two with us. Then The elbow. Then CM.I think we all noticed. He actually dropped off a bit as the GC progressed, but he certainly was a bit weaker after that window. My assumption was either the spotlight wore on him a bit, or all of the games tested his fitness.
